In this video I break down some of the key factors which influence the Gardevoir vs Giratina matchup, as well as the different lines Tina players will take, and how you should respond to them.

good stuff, man.
a matchup that always seems so good on paper, but has so many lines of play from both sides that it's tough to predict how it will go.
Great video! I'd love to see more like this format for the top decks
How do you feel about the matchup if Garde doesn’t play Cresselia I’m not playing it in my list currently but should I add it in?
Nice to hear from the pro lol but where’s the joe?? Haha great video, Rowan.
That’s some great insight Rowan, ill take your advice in my games against Tina
11:32 I definitely avoided KOs too much against Bradner, but I still think 80 on a Tina is often correct so long as you’re attaching manually to a Kirlia on that turn. Then you just need to attach a Reversal Energy and Brainwave for 210 can KO the damaged Tina without leaving any damage on Gardevoir. If your opponent doesn’t find a gust effect, they’re only going to be taking one prize card and leaving a 2-prizer active at the same time, which results in a free turn more often than the ex KO-ing.
Hi Rowan!
I was your round-9 opponent at Portland! Thanks for making this video; it gives me a much clearer understanding at what Gardevoir values, and what strategy/pieces can give Giratina its best chance in this challenging matchup. I also really appreciate you sharing some of the multi-turn maneuvers (e.g. 100 damage with Cresselia).
Wishing you the best at your continued successful Pokémon career! Good luck at the next big competition you attend!
Great video!
great video man, I have a question with your gardevoir list how do you beat an iron hands t1?
Can we do the Gardevoir ex vs iron hands miradion ex. I’m pretty sure this is favoured into miradion ex so long as they get iron hands ex turn one and two.
awesome analysis, thank you for the video
Heyyyyyyy
Please could you teach me how to beat Charizard ex by using Miraidon ex ????
I have a town league this Sunday and am thinking to join with Miraidon ex deck 😢
Very well structured video my friend. I've been on VIPless garde for a while now, but I've yet to try out a build with pal pad + Lumineon in PAR. How have you or anyone who has used it found it so far? When at 5 draw supporters I do find it to be pretty essential, but I'm usually a little too worried about the risk of playing it at most points in the game becoming a liability in the long run. Usually my Lumineon and pal pad end up being a 6th and 7th draw supporter, just for the higher consistency earlier on. Does anyone else have any opinions on this?
Great video. For some reason on point 3 you talk from the tina POV
Great vid love the breakdown, would love more of these match up vids, possibly one with Zard ex, even tho is supposed to be favoured i find the MU tough
Excellent video, friend, if you could make another one with a game between the decks it would be very helpful and entertaining without a doubt
keep it up
I've seen this video several times by the way.
